The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 426 The Price of Resurrection

The universe is three-dimensional. There is no distinction between up and down, left and right in the universe.

The Zerg's invasion was also heading in all directions, and Xandar was just one of the directions.

This was pure bad luck. Xandar was closest to where the Zerg appeared in the positive universe and was the first powerful force to be destroyed.

Afterwards, the Zerg was like a flood, washing in all directions.

As a neighbor of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way is the second victim.

The diameter of the Milky Way is about 10 light-years. The solar system is located near the equatorial plane of the Milky Way, about 3 light-years from the center of the Milky Way.

Although this distance seems very far, it is only a few days for the Zerg. If they directly make a space jump, this time will be shortened even more.

When the Zerg and the troops of the three empires were engaged in a head-on battle, the Zerg first encountered a tough opponent here in the Milky Way.

The safety of the nine realms is protected by Asgard.

Before the Zerg entered their sphere of influence, Odin had already learned everything through the interstellar quantum network and issued an order for the entire nation to be mobilized.

Everyone in Asgard is a martial artist and a warrior. They are warlike by nature. Facing such a powerful enemy that can destroy the Nova Empire, they do not show any fear but become more and more excited.

The Nine Realms have been at peace for too long, causing these violent muscular men (women) to feel as if they were rusted and feeling uncomfortable all day long.

Now that a group of powerful enemies have appeared, it is just right for them to have some fun.

The people of Asgard are not afraid of death because they have their own underworld.

Warriors who died in battle can return to Valhalla and continue to live there as spirits.

If the gods did not die on the battlefield, their souls would go to Helheim, the kingdom of the dead. However, that was where Odin sealed Hela, the eldest princess of Asgard and the goddess of death. It was Hela's territory, so it was not comfortable enough.

For the Asgardians who love war, wine, dancing and music, it is better to die in battle than to go to Helheim!
What's more, they had all died once before, but were resurrected by Loki and returned to their peak moment. If they didn't enjoy themselves well, they would be wasting their life.

As for the small matter of Loki killing them before, it was all resolved over the wine table. In Asgard, there is nothing that cannot be solved by wine. If one meal is not enough, two meals will do.

When the insect ship broke through the space and entered the solar system, it saw all the Asgard warriors ready to go.

Odin, whose body has recovered to its peak condition, is wearing the Destroyer Armor, riding on the eight-legged giant horse Sleipnir, holding the spear of Gungnir, and standing in front of the army. His two sons are guarding on both sides, holding a hammer and a knife respectively. Behind him, a group of gods are lined up and ready to fight. Finally, the queen of gods Frigga leads a large number of flying boats and warships to provide support.

Without waiting for the insect ship to open the gates and release the insects, Odin pointed his gun forward and launched the first attack.

A ray of divine light shot out from the Kungunir spear, like a thunderbolt, and in an instant it crossed the space, came to the group of insect ships, and then exploded in all directions, turning a large number of insect ships into powder.

Following Odin's signal to start war, the Asgard warriors pounced on the unstable enemy like tigers out of a cage.

A large number of energy beam cannons fell like raindrops, hitting the insect ship and causing ripples, but failed to achieve the desired effect.

The energy resistance evolved by the Zerg came into play again, instantly weakening the attack power of the flying boat battleship to the bottom.

Frigga acted decisively and immediately switched the attack mode to magic.

Sure enough, the effect of the magic was immediate, causing heavy damage to the insect ship.

It was not so easy after that. Large numbers of swarms of insects were continuously released from the fleet, densely covering the entire starry sky.

The swarm of insects and the warriors began to fight hand-to-hand.

Thor could no longer hold back, and with a roar, he rushed into the swarm of insects, dragging a screen full of thunder. Then, in an instant, he was submerged under the subsequent insects that pounced on him.

A moment later, a large amount of lightning flashed and shone through the gaps in the surrounding and stacked swarms of insects, and then a huge amount of energy suddenly exploded from inside, burning the insects outside to ashes.

However, the swarms are endless, and if one group dies, more will rush up.

Thor exploded again and again, but no matter how he exploded, the number of bugs on his body never decreased.

Seeing his brother who hadn't changed at all and was still so reckless, Loki sighed with a wry smile, said hello to his father Odin, then rushed in and fought side by side with his brother.

This time, even if we die, we must die together. I will never be separated from my brother again.

Odin sat on a giant eight-legged horse, watching the fight in front of him, with no intention of stopping.

Different from those gods whose heads are made of muscles, he has been in a state of inexplicable anxiety since his resurrection.

Everything is not normal!

Ragnarok is a destined event, an unchangeable destiny. All previous gods have been mentally prepared for it, which is why Valhalla came into being, just to deal with Ragnarok which may occur at any time.

When the Loki incident broke out, he thought that Ragnarok had arrived. In the end, almost all the gods in Asgard were indeed dead, but how did they come back to life?

This doesn't make sense!
Also, what's going on with his body?

When Odin was young, he had a conflict with the gods and was almost killed. He suffered severe injuries that could never be healed.

It was for this reason that as he grew older, his divine body could no longer grow stronger, becoming a shortcoming in his strength growth. His increasingly powerful divine power far exceeded the divine body's endurance limit, and in the end he even dared not use his divine power recklessly, in order to avoid being burned to death by his own overly powerful divine power.

But after his resurrection, Odin discovered that the injuries on his body had completely disappeared, as if they had never existed, allowing him to fight with all his divine power without worrying about any risks.

If this was a side effect of resurrection, it was still understandable and barely plausible, but what about his right eye?

Odin's one eye was not lost due to injury, but he took it off himself and exchanged it with the giant Mimir for the fountain of wisdom.

At the bottom of the World Tree, there is a "Fountain of Wisdom" that gave birth to the World Tree. The Fountain of Wisdom is guarded by the giant kingdom that controls the underground. If Odin wants to bring "wisdom" back to Asgard, he must get the permission of the giants. However, the giants and the gods of Asgard are hostile forces, and he will never allow Odin to get his hands on the Fountain of Wisdom.

In order to obtain the wisdom of Runes in the Fountain of Wisdom, Odin dug out his eyes in exchange for a cup of water. After drinking the water, he had a deeper understanding of the rules of the world, and transformed from a muscle man into a wise warrior. His strength increased greatly, and he then conquered the nine realms and became the true king of the gods.

Rather than a transaction, it was more of a magical sacrifice, an equal exchange, so his lost eyes would never be restored, otherwise he would lose the wisdom gained from the Fountain of Wisdom.

However, his right eye has now recovered, but the wisdom he once gained has not disappeared at all, and he has not turned back into a standard Asgard muscle man.

This is extremely unreasonable, and even completely violates the rules of how magic works in this world - equal exchange.

Compared to Loki's joy and Thor's ignorance and fearlessness, Odin knew very well that fate had already marked all goods with extra prices. When you think it's free, fate will quietly jump out and give you a large bill.

Since ancient times, resurrecting people has rarely been done successfully from beginning to end. I just don’t know what price Loki will have to pay this time.

But no matter what the price is, Odin has secretly decided that he, as the father, will pay the price for his youngest son.

Odin didn't feel relieved until the Annihilation Zerg from the Negative Zone suddenly appeared, caused huge damage to the positive universe, and rushed towards Asgard.

That's it!

This is the price!

No wonder all the Asgard gods were resurrected!

No wonder he has recovered to his peak condition!

The universe needs a powerful fighter!
Odin thought of the experiences Loki had told him about, and he had some insights in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, the existence of the God Butcher and the Black Death Sword would not be taken seriously by the universe. In the vast scale of the universe, gods are meaningless and their life or death is irrelevant.

But when facing the impending Zerg invasion, the more gods there are, the better. So the God Butcher Gol was killed and the Black Death Sword was broken. If they want to appear again, they will have to wait until the universe is safe.

And the idiot Zeus sealed off the Almighty City, which indeed helped him avoid the God Butcher and the Black Death Sword. But when the universe needed help, playing with invisibility was tantamount to deserting the battlefield, wasn't it?
There is no need for a worker who is of no use to the universe to exist. It is better to just donate the artifact and make use of the last bit of his energy.

Loki, this silly son!

I thought it would be so easy for me to achieve my wish and resurrect all the Asgardians with ease!
Resurrection is not an easy thing in any era. It takes a lot of hardship and sacrifice to achieve the ultimate goal.

What's more, he resurrected not just one person, but hundreds of millions of people in Asgard.

If a task is accomplished easily, it must not be that it is simple, and the cost of it must need to be paid later.

Now, the price has finally come.

Odin suddenly realized that as long as the Asgardians died once more in order to fight the invasion of the insects, the price would be paid.

It's damn fair!
It really fucking conforms to the principle of equivalent exchange!

However, Odin looked at his youngest son who was working with his brother to kill insects in the distance, and would occasionally trick his brother, and then go over to save people with a wicked smile. His face no longer had the original dejected expression, but had regained its original vitality and energy.

That's it!

I am willing to pay this price!

After Odin made up his mind, he gently pulled the reins of his horse. Sleipnir had followed his master on the battlefield for many years, and they had long been in sync with each other. He immediately neighed, stood up, stomped the air twice with his front hooves, and then turned into a ray of light and rushed into the swarm of insects.

Wherever Odin went, all the Asgard warriors were like being buffed. Their divine power surged, their fighting spirit increased, and they immediately became invincible.

All the Zerg that were exposed to the light were immediately turned into ashes, without even a chance for the Zerg ships to collect their wreckage and take samples of their divine power.

Odin has been fighting for thousands of years and has extremely rich experience on the battlefield. He can see the strengths and weaknesses of these Zerg at a glance and does not leave them any material for further evolution.

Moreover, there is no point in killing these Zergs. The key problem lies in the Zerg ships at the rear.

If the Zerg ships are not eliminated, the Zerg will never be eradicated!
Odin did not stop, but reined in his horse and charged directly towards the insect ships that were still increasing in number in the distance.

The Zerg knew their weaknesses, so all kinds of insect beasts blocked the way forward. Even strong men like Thor and Loki could not move forward smoothly in the face of such a large number of Zerg, and could only move forward bit by bit.

But this obstacle had no effect on Odin in his old age.

The divine power of the Aesir will automatically increase with age; the longer they live, the stronger their divine power will be.

The ultimate fate of the Asgardian warriors is either to die in battle or to die in old age when their bodies cannot withstand the intensity of their divine power and collapse.

The aged Thor can become the strongest in the universe, conquer Galactus alone and be invincible. Of course, the aged God-King Odin can do the same.

The Zergs in the sky were unable to stop Odin at all, and couldn't even get close to Odin's body.

Wherever Sleipnir went, all Zerg were reduced to ashes, and there was no way to delay him even for a moment.

The only things that could make Odin pause for a while were the insect ships, but they only had a slight effect. When the spear of Kungunir was swung down, the huge insect ships that looked like ancient dragons collapsed and turned into ashes.

Such a large Zerg fleet was defeated by Odin alone.

Seeing that the entire Zerg fleet was about to be completely destroyed by Odin alone, the Zerg finally couldn't hold on anymore and sent a request for help to the four Zerg Kings stationed in the Andromeda Galaxy in the rear, requesting them to come to the rescue as soon as possible.

When Odin broke through the siege and reached the last remaining Zerg ship, the space channel suddenly opened, and Annihilus led other Zerg kings and new Zerg reinforcements and appeared in the solar system.

"You are the ones waiting!"

Odin shouted loudly, pushing his divine power to the limit, controlling Sleipnir to transform into a stream of light and attacking the leading Annihilator fiercely.
